Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite

Private blood results
Hello So this page has been so helpful so after publishing my Dr's nhs results I was advised to pay and get private ones done. After 2 failed blood attempts and multiple needles late finally have my results. If anyone could give me some guidance I'd be extremely greatful. CRP 0.305 Ferritin 30.8

Blood Test Rip-off
I've received an email from privatebloodtests.co.uk which is part of Blue Horizon. They offer traditional blood tests at astronomic prices. No doubt they will have 'offers' but my view is that we should, when possible, boycott these companies. There is great temptation to see more blood tests as better

Serum Free T4 level high
I have hypothyroididm and have had it for years. I used to medicate myself, but can no longer afford to do so. I am now taking 100 ml of levothyroxine. I now seem to hae a problem with high blood pressure, hot flushes and what I call adrenalin punches in the stomach. I would not say I was ill,

recent blood test results
Hi Everyone I recently had a private blood test done through here and the following has been observed by a friend:- My TPO Anti-bodies suggest Hashimotos. My TSH is high - in a healthy person the result is usually around 2. FT4 and FT3 could be higher. VitD better around 100 + Can anyone help.

tsh ‘suppressed’ but I want to stay on 125mcg levo. Thoughts?
Morning all! Just had results back from gp thyroid panel (so only tsh and t4). 23rd April Tsh: 0.2 (range 0.27-4.2) T4: 15.9 (10.5-24.5) I’d asked for an increase in levo from 100-125mcg and had been taking the increased dose for around 10 weeks when I had this test. Here are my previous results

Monitor my Health results , or lack of them!
Wonder if anyone else has had this ( or got prof.expertise to advise), did the Full Health Screen blood test from the NHS lab so I’d be well equipped to have phone appointment with GP next week re. Thyroid and vit/ min levels, and they only did 2 tests ( HbA1c and cholesterol) others said ‘not enough

Safe to Take Iodine?
Hi all, I've had thyroid tests which all came back as normal except I had what appears to be elevated FT4 levels, 3 endocrinologists have reassured me that I do not have hyperthyroidism. They emphasized the importance of considering all test results together. I'm underweight, struggling to gain weight

TSH over 4.5 for 10 years, nothing else but symptoms got worse
Hello! I’ve had a kind of high tsh since I was 19. I’ve tested it along with T4, the 2 antibodies, not sure if also T3, and they all were fine except my Tsh (4.5). I did it because I fainted upon waking up with low blood sugar and low blood pressure after a stressful period (I got anxiety, depression

Over-medicated (Levothyroxine)?
Hello, I wondered if someone could help me? Apologies for posting lots of results below, but I thought it might help with context. I have just received my latest NHS results and I think I may be over-medicated still? Interestingly, I had a dose reduction 6 weeks ago and although my FT4 has reduced,
